I was selling my house and had a different company come and inspect my septic system. They said it wasn't draining properly and I would need to replace the leach lines which would cost $7,000 - $17,000 and they would send a contractor out right away. This process needed permits and with permit that means time I didn't have when selling my house. I decided to get a second opinion. That's when I called Certified Septic Service. I didn't tell them I had a previous company come out. Certified Septic came out and found the drainage issue. They brought a camera and locator to stick down into the leach lines and examine what was happening. They found that all that was need was to hydro-jet the system and replace about a 3 foot section of the inlet pipe. This process took about 30 minutes and cost way less than replacing the whole leach fields. They would have had to rip up my whole driveway to replace the leach fields. I'm so glad I called and got a second opinion. I was certified within a week. Thank you for being an honest and reputable company. read more

Do not use this company if you value your time. I called Ricardo to provide a septic cert while I was going through escrow. He made an appointment and then missed it then made another appointment and missed that. "I'll be out there Tuesday. I'll be out there Thursday. I'll be out there. Tomorrow" is all I heard. I can't believe any of the other reviews if this is how he conducts business. Shockingly bad. read more

Had a great experience with certified septic. Rick was able to provide a quote over the phone and was very responsive throughout the process. The service techs Jessey and his coworker were very polite and did an excellent job. If you're looking for an honest septic company, look no further. read more

These people try to screw you out of your money. Get a second opinion. Quoting thousands for simple fixes if you not a savvy person. Shady.

This is an excellent septic company. I highly recommend them. I needed to have my septic system certified for the sale of my house and Rick did a wonderful job for a decent price. Also, he elevated the level of my liquids tank which will make it much easier to find. Thank you Rick. read more

This outstanding business, led by Ricardo, and (part of his professional crewmembers, Jesse and David) are superb in their responsiveness, thoroughness, value for services performed, and politeness. Despite this last week being a the holiday season, we wanted to ensure that our septic system was in good shape prior to the whole family coming for a late Christmas and early New Years celebration. We called, they were able to accommodate us within a day of calling, were prompt, very professional, clean, cheery and very respectful. Please consider relying on them if and/or when you have a need to service your septic system. They're located in Riverside on Sedona Dr, and can be reached at (909) 628-8685. read more

We first had Rick and Jessie pump our septic tank just about two years ago not that long after we moved to a home with a septic tank - something we had no previous experience with. From the start we could see that they not only knew their stuff but could also evaluate our system and explain why it was basically in good shape but could use some repairs. At the time we agreed to have them come back early this year to pump the tanks again but also perform the repairs we needed. Today, almost two years later to the day those repairs were done in just a few hours. Now our nearly 60 year old septic system is set to last for many more years, and with regular care perhaps indefinitely. read more

My nieghbor turned me on to Certified Septic. So I figured a referral from a friend is always good. I called Rick at Certified and he promptly answered his phone. I mentioned I needed my septic tank pumped and he said no problem. He gave me a price, a date and time when he could come out. I also inquired about inspection and certification. He said once he opens both lids he would be able to see if the tank is at operating level. We knew our leach lines have issues (from the previous owner) and that's why we get the tank pumped more frequently than normal. Well he was able to see that the tanks were full and was not at operating level. He could have done some smoke and mirrors and tried to take my money for the inspection but didn't. I appreciate he was honest and did the right thing in telling me the truth. I had heard that sometimes the leach lines regenerate but in my case that is wishful thinking. Since the leach lines are failing causing the septic tank to fill up it also filled up Ricks truck. Rick promptly let me know that he had to go dump and he would be back to finish pumping. Upon his return I watched him pump and wash out both compartments. I've had other Septic companies come out and they seem bothered when you tell them to pump both compartments. Not Rick...He gave me the impression that making sure the customer was satisfied was his primary objective. As it should be. Septic tank pumping is not a glamorous job but taking pride in your work is important and i got that from Rick. He was a straight shooter and gained a repeat customer. read more

Certified Septic serviced my Septic tank, when he arrived and started digging for the tank lid, he stopped and told me to hire a plumber to find it, I did and had him come back. He wanted more money to dig, and then told me that I had a line coming into the tank that was bad and wanted more money by the time I was done I had spent $4,500 dollars and he never offered to pump the other side of my septic tank, a month later my system backed up again, I had to hire someone else to come out and finish the job he failed to do. read more

Beware! Very unprofessional Company. Did not complete the job and wanted to charge double just to pump both tanks, and i dug up the dirt and had risers exposed. Asked them to complete the job, and they stated it was my problem. Wow so UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

Very unprofessional. I initially agreed to pay $385 for a septic certification, but they had issues finding the drain line leading to the septic tank so i agreed to have the locate the line with a camera and also dig up the septic tank and pump it. this went all fine, as i paid the $650 for the camera and $345 for the pumping of the septic. The problem is they still wanted to charge me the $385 for the certification but they couldn't provide it to me because of a line offset and also needing to put a santee. They said the work to fix the line offset ( about 4 feet of it ) would be about $4000. The price was not the problem as i would've agreed to it but the problem was the communication, follow up and professionalism. Rick seems to be nice one day and very rude the following day. I wish him and his business the best of luck in the future. The changes I would advise is to disclose better and communicate better. read more

Do not use this company. We called them out to certify our Septic System. They came out pumped out our Septic for $450 and then informed us we needed to fix the inlet and out let pipes for $2500 before it could be certified. We called another company and they came out and said they could fix it for $800 dollars. But since they didn't pump out the tank they couldn't certify it. We called up Certified and told them we would fix it and then they could come out and certify the system. They then told us they would have to do the work or they wouldn't certify the system, knowing that we had no other option. So they forced us to pay 300% more to two replace about 6' of PVC pipe which only took a few hours. It is highway robbery. read more
